Close to Backbone State Park, 10 minutes by car.
Walking distance to grocery store, bars and restaurants, and post office.
This home has very comfortable pillow top beds, separate rooms for up to four couples, plus additional rooms for sofa sleeping.

This is a larger home, in a small town.
Our family enjoys being able to get together and have ample kitchen space to cook and converse. I'm sure yours will too!

Laura and her family have put an enormous about of love and care into their beautiful home. Breakfast items were provided and Laura was only a message/text away if any help was needed. My family of 8 had plenty of room and the kids loved the spacious yard.

Go here to relax! We stayed here over the 4th of July Holiday and were so glad we made the choice to do so. The house is just outside of town and is a true country experience with comfortable amenities. The grounds are beautiful. The front porch experience: LOVELY. The grounds are perfect, the beds are comfortable. The town of Strawberry point has a couple of yummy hometown restaurants and a cute coffee shop. The owner of one of the restaurant's told us that Laura (the house owner) was the interior designer that worked on the downtown hotel.

Sabra2015-07-06T00:00:00Z

Very accommodating owner with a beautiful old house. Comfortable with a lot of updates. Good for families. We hope to stay there again in the future!

Mary2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

The house is amazing! It is beautifully decorated and set in such a serene location. We absolutely loved the front porch! And Socrates is adorable!

Deann2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

Laura and her beautiful home made our Father's Day trip to the Field of Dreams one we'll never forget! The house is large with very comfortable beds and is even kid friendly. My 4 and 7 yr old nephews had a blast playing with the toys and running around outside. Laura seemed to think of everything as our stay was the most relaxing we've had in years. Can't wait to go back again!

Jay2015-06-22T00:00:00Z

We found the home to be large, beautiful and perfectly suited for family get-togethers. Our kids told us they wanted a house just like it so they could play and play and play in each room. This is a must stay location if you're in the area.

Erik2017-02-11T00:00:00Z

Laura is wonderfully welcoming and an excellent communicator before, during and after your stay. The provision of breakfast was a delightful bonus and allowed us more family time. This is a lovely location with scenic views!

Suite 3. This suite is located near restaurants, retail shops, the Elkader Opera House performances and the Turkey River. A comfy and peaceful suite apartment. Keyless entry. This is a second story suite.

We offer a two bedroom suite with full bath, kitchen, and living room; and satellite tv. The suites are private and have keyless entry so you can come and go as you please. The space is an enlivened apartment setup in a great location to many of Elkader's features.

The Elkader Opera House, an historic building, features spring and fall theater and musicals as well as a variety of entertainment. The opera house is one-half block away from the suites.

Wonderful, delightful, peaceful, comfortable and beautiful. We easily made arrangements with Rebecca, she greeted us at the door and accommodated our group of 4 in style. Her suites are tastefully decorated, fully equipped and nicely hosted. We would go back in a moment. Everyone in our group appreciated the suites, their location (nearby restaurant, coffee shop and swimming in the river) and the town of Elkader. We were bicycling in northeast Iowa for 5 days and were very glad we included Elkader and "A Simple Peaceful Suite" on our itinerary.

Peter2015-07-06T00:00:00Z

Very comfortable updated and clean suite in a historic building in a beautiful small town in Iowa. Very quiet as well. The perfect location to explore northeast Iowa. Becky was easy to work with, stopped by to say hello and made the booking process very easy. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Perfect location! Just steps away from the gorgeous little town that is Elkader. Great place, clean and tidy, and Rebecca was a wonderful and helpful host. Short drive to all the hikes and sight seeing of Northeast Iowa. Would highly recommend this place to others.

Rachel2016-07-05T00:00:00Z

The suite was very nice. Clean, large, quiet. Had a kitchen which was nice but we did not use. Rebecca was easy to get a hold of and was waiting for us when we arrived. The Algerian restaurant around the corner has a nice patio overlooking the river where we had dinner.

Mike2014-05-26T00:00:00Z

The place was great - perfect location for exploring Elkader. We could walk everywhere. The place was cozy, comfortable and extremely clean! I would recommend it to anyone wanting to head up to northeast Iowa to see the fall leaves or just to get away.

Patricia2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

The suite was as shown in the listing, very clean and inviting. The beds were comfortable. The kitchenette served us well for preparing a light meal and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the central location in this small town, with a few restaurants and shops right around the corner. We were pleasantly surprised with Elkader and if in the area would stay here again.

Front Family Room is modern with fireplace , ceiling fan, picture window view of valley and garden, and 50" LCD Satellite TV.

Location is remote and at the end of a "Dead End" gravel road (4 wheel drive recommended in winter) . Closest neighbor lives 1/2 mile away. Only traffic are Trout Fishermen, who park next to Trout Stream. Their parking area is outside fenced in Cottage and Mill.
Hiking Trails at Pikes Peak State Park (Free), Effigy Mounds National Park, plus many County Hiking Trails all within 20 miles.

What a wonderful time! Had by all! This place is absolutely PERFECT! Beautiful! Norma was absolutely amazing. So sweet! We had a wonderful weekend which was enhanced by having a nice place for the family who had to stay in hotels to gather locally. We had a wonderful BBQ on Friday night and visited without having to drive all the way to WI for a hotel. We will definitely be coming back! I am sure many of my family members will be booking time here. Couldn't have been a more perfect weekend!

The host canceled this reservation 17 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Kevin2017-06-16T00:00:00Z

Rustic & secluded are good descriptions, a typical older home. There were a lot of personal items there, which was not at all like the place we stayed in Alaska. Good central location to explore the area. Beds were all comfortable. Care needs to be taken on the main steps going into the home.

Donna2017-06-16T00:00:00Z

We very much enjoyed our stay at Ivan's cottage. It was the perfect place to come back to and relax after exploring NE Iowa.

Sasha2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

Wonderful location. Fishing was great and the house had everything we needed. The location is central to Prairie du Chien and Dekorah which both offer lots to do. Beautiful area of Iowa to visit.

Heather2017-07-13T00:00:00Z

The house is located in a quiet and very pretty area, so it is really restful if you live in a big city and want to get away. We loved looking at the night sky, magnificent! Also, walking along the stream was very relaxing. The area is a great place to visit, lots of pretty towns, great hikes, interesting things to see and do and friendly people. The cottage is really a big, cool old house, can fit lots of people, so it is probably great for families (we were only two people). Our bed was comfortable, and it was clean. It has a full kitchen, very handy and saves money on food. Also, pets are allowed, which is wonderful if you can't get a pet sitter, and any dog would LOVE it there. Norma is really nice and very helpful, and the hosts clearly want you to enjoy the house and your stay. The only downside really is there is only one kinda rustic bathroom , on the first floor, and all the bedrooms are on second and third floors, so people who need to go at night, or who have limited mobility, would be a little challenged. We couldn't get cell service, but that was a bonus for us.

Maria2017-05-31T00:00:00Z

If you like privacy this is the place to go. My Husband and I just got back from a weekend with a couple other couples. We enjoyed coffee on the deck each morning, we walked by the trout stream, saw the baby calves, and used the grill each night. We even had a fawn come into the yard and visit us. It was very nice and peaceful for our get away from busy city life.

Amy2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

It was a lovely stay, the place is gorgeous and the host made us feel very welcome. Everything was there as described, the house was spacious and there was a lot of room on the property for the dog to run around. The view of the stars at night was gorgeous and there were plenty of firewood to burn. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a private weekend getaway!

The Brick Manor is a historical house built in the 1860s. This is a large upstairs Master Suite with a private bathroom in a charming remodeled interior.
Come visit our quaint town on the Turkey River! 30-40 mins. from Decorah and the Mississippi.

Clermont is a charming village by the Turkey River with access to canoeing,golfing and a bike trail. Many brick buildings in town have given Clermont the nickname "Brick City". Montauk (just up the hill from Clermont) is an Iowa historical site available for tours May thru Sept.

Clermont is a small town in NE Iowa on the Turkey River. There are rentals for canoeing,tubing and biking. A bike/hiking trail runs from here to nearby Elgin. The RiverBluffs Scenic Byway runs thru town and shows off the lovely countryside from here to the Mississippi.

Becky had everything we needed and then some. We never had to ask for anything. When we arrived, Becky greeted us at the door, and showed us the entire house. Bathroom had soaps, washes, lots of big thick towels, a tub and a shower. The room had a comfy bed and everything we needed. Becky fixed us a great breakfast each of the three days we were there and accommodated our time of breakfast. Each day when I got up, she had the coffee ready. Becky is a lot of fun to talk to, and I could have spent the whole day talking with her, but we were there to explore and photograph Northeastern Iowa, so we did not stay around too much. But when we returned in the evening Becky was there to see if we needed anything. It's a great place to stay if you are in the area and the price is most reasonable. Decorah is nearby, as is the Mississippi River and some great river towns. Do not expect flash and dash in Clermont. It's a small town, and, while there are some neat old brick structures, there is not a lot for entertainment. But, there is a lot to see in Northeastern Iowa. Fall colors is not the least of them. Great stay.

David2015-10-15T00:00:00Z

Spent 2 nights there and was delighted to find a restful place with a comfortable bed. The host made yummy breakfasts that fit my special diet and she was always eager to meet a need. I enjoyed having access to Netflix in the room and she also had a separate fridge for the food I brought.

Audrey2015-11-21T00:00:00Z

Rebecca went out of her way to make my stay comfortable in this scenic little town on a river in Iowa. The accommodations were very spacious and comfortable. The bathroom and adjoining bedroom were cool and inviting, and I had a restful sleep in this quiet town full of beautiful old brick homes.

William2015-07-04T00:00:00Z

What a terrific visit we had. The host is not just about chatting but also setting the tone for the venue. This is a beautiful old rambling house and Becky could not have done more to accommodate my family. I recommend this place with enthusiasm.

Charles2015-08-16T00:00:00Z

Rebecca was so kind and thoughtful in her preparations for us! She was extra accommodating to our toddler and had things prepared for him to play with and even had a booster seat ready for him. Breakfast was amazing and delicious! And we loved the quiet of Clermont. It was a beautiful stay!

Elyse2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

The Brick Manor is more Civil War boarding house than Downton Abbey, but that is just fine with me. It was a comfortable and pleasant place to stay. It is well appointed with a large bedroom that has a comfortable four poster bed. The bathroom is spacious with separate tub and shower. Rebecca is a genial and welcoming host. She returned to her grandmother's village to restore this house (some details still being worked on) and so is very knowledgable about the area. She not only made us feel very much at home, but she also made us a lovely breakfast in the morning. Although it is a bit off the beaten track (get good directions), the Brick Manor is a very pleasant side trip. I did deduct a star because the room is up a set of rather steep, uncarpeted stairs and for some that could be a problem. Otherwise, I have nothing but good feelings about Rebecca or the house. P. S. Be sure to ask about the gandy dancers.

Erick2014-11-09T00:00:00Z

My husband and I went to a concert at Seed Savers in Decorah, Iowa, and were looking for a quiet, clean place to spend the night somewhere in the vicinity, so this was a great place to stay. Rebecca was an excellent host for us--allowing us to check in late, accommodating our dietary requests, and in general, being hospitable without hovering. I could imagine this house being an excellent writer's retreat. The house is lovely, the town is small and quiet, and there are beautiful historical buildings everywhere. It is probably a good idea to print out directions to this little gem ahead of time as there are parts of rural Iowa where cell service is spotty. We had done so, and so had no problem finding the house, but others might want to be aware of that.

AnneMarie2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

We had a very enjoyable time at Becky's. We felt at home as soon as we walked in the door. The bedroom was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Having a private bath was very nice too. Becky was friendly and offered some great suggestions as to a couple places to eat near by. We ended up eating (URL HIDDEN) and it was very good. For breakfast Becky had a delicious egg casserole, choice of breads, oj, and fresh fruit. Hot cup of coffee was waiting for us also. We would definitely stay again if our travels take us close to Clermont!

Excellent place to stay near downtown and clean! I highly recommend this beautiful place!

John2017-06-07T00:00:00Z

Super comfortable and clean. Stocked with everything you need. Sheryl was prompt with communication even though she was taking part in a local wedding celebration. Congrats to the newlyweds! Added bonus, we were able to catch a barge passing though the lock which is just across the street. Also close, Jim's Pizza where I suggest you stop for some awesome ice cream! Great stay.

Kelly2015-08-09T00:00:00Z

This place is amazing. As an Airbnb host, I am familiar with what it takes to make guests comfortable. Lisa and Steve did just that, very friendly, welcoming and informative. The guest space is very expansive, the entire basement level with lovely views and two walk outs. Large HDTV with satellite connection, WiFi and pool table. Two bedrooms. The view of the river is nothing short of spectacular. I will definitely be back.

Bill & Stacey2015-06-27T00:00:00Z

Lisa was the perfect host! She was very accommodating of our late arrival and flexible on our check out time. She went out of her way to be sure we had everything we needed, even purchasing the kind of tea we like prior to our arrival. We had the entire lower level of their gorgeous home to ourselves, including a very comfortable king size bed, a full bathroom, a living area with a pool table, and a coffee area with mini fridge, coffee maker and tea, snacks, and a microwave. Board games, a corkscrew, and wine glasses were also provided. We were able to build a fire in the firepit and gaze at thousands of stars and watch a glorious sunrise over the Mississippi River right in the back yard. Lisa helped us when our car got a flat, calling area mechanics and lending us tools. The home is located in a gorgeous area very close to a number of national and state parks. It was a perfect base for our hiking adventures at Effigy Mounds, Pikes Peak, and Maquoketa Caves. We would definitely stay again!

Keely2015-09-07T00:00:00Z

My friend and I loved staying at Lisa's place. While we were only there for a night, we immediately felt at home in the whole basement level that was left to us and complete with two very big, clean, and comfortable bedrooms, a great tv room, and snacks and coffee for us in the morning. We would gladly stay at Lisa's place again next time we're in Iowa.

Sara2015-10-31T00:00:00Z

Lisa made us feel very welcome. We didn't interact a lot as our schedules differed. The home is exactly as described. Beautiful view ... a little buggy but what can you do?! We saw a mother deer and her baby in the yard.

Kim2015-06-22T00:00:00Z

Lisa was VERY nice and hospitable. The stay was cozy, quiet and very comfortable. Beds were nice with pillow tops, pillows were very nice too and there were 'DOWN' comforters. For those of us who have snoring partners there is an addl bedroom across the hall that is just as nice and comfortable for a full night's rest. I would stay with Lisa again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Lisa for a beautiful weekend stay there at your home. We will return next time maybe for a girls weekend with my mother and sister.

Michelle2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

Peaceful rural space with all the convenience of home. Only 6 miles from the Mississippi, close to parks, trails, and public hunting. With 2 available rooms, full kitchen, laundry, large back deck and plenty of room this is the perfect spot.

Two upstairs bedrooms with a shared bathroom.

Quite rural neighborhood with more then enough room to relax and take in the country air.

Josh's place was pretty much what we expected. It was a lot like living with a roommate you don't know but run into 3x a day or so. Josh and his son seem like wholesome people we could trust. Unfortunately we had a few things go wacky while we were there such as the AC was on the fritz, the ceiling fan didn't work, and the oven only worked on broil. I wish I didn't have to report that, as they seem like hard-working folk and they were friendly. I appreciated them allowing us to stay with our toddler and their flexibility around his naps. My toddler's favorite part was their friendly dog, an introduction to their horsies, and picking mulberries in the yard. Better than staying in a tiny hotel room! The country aesthetic was nice and fitting for its location.

Suzi2017-07-07T00:00:00Z

Best AirBNB stay yet. Josh met us and was instantly welcoming. Our three little ones (who can be a handful) were in love with the horses from the start and Josh was great with showing them around!The location is exactly what we wanted, right off the main road but super quiet and private. The house is beautiful and the rooms were comfortable. The boys room had games and toys and was the perfect hideout for kids to have their own space. After dark, sitting on the back deck in the quiet stargazing was super relaxing. Josh was open and accommodating as a host and helpful with anything we needed. If you're in the area, this is the place to stay!

Joseph2017-08-29T00:00:00Z

Beautiful looking house, inside and out. Josh was very accommodating with flexible check in time. Very responsibe and good communication.

Chris2017-07-22T00:00:00Z

There was actually more space in this house that I expected. Josh was very accommodating and his son helped us get settled in. We had a great stay and the process was easy and pleasant. Thank you , Josh!

Bryan2016-11-13T00:00:00Z

Josh was very quick to respond to any concerns and questions we had.His place was so well cared for and absolutely stunning private rural view.He was out of town the night we stayed, but he still managed to make us feel welcome with everything ready and freedom to use his coffeemaker and note with clear instuctions.I would definitely reserve here again and encourage others.I hope we can come back in the future.Thanks ,Josh.

Susan 2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

I took the accomodation because I was there for work about 6 weeks there. I think that is long enough, to write a good review. There are 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom ready to get used. My bed was really comfortable and the bathroom was good too. The landlord tried to make our stay as comfortable as possible. He regulary asked us like “is everything ok” or “do you need anything” which was a very positive aspect, too. After 6 weeks there, I can not say any negative aspects. That are the reasons why I really enjoyed the stay. I can definitely recommend everybody, that gets near that way, to stay at Joshs house. Thank me later.

Johannes2016-11-03T00:00:00Z

Josh had a great place. If you want quiet country this is the place for you.

Very quaint comfortable apartment in beautiful historic Elkader, Iowa. Rebecca and Scott met me upon arrival and were very welcoming and willing to provide assistance if needed. Pictures don't do this charming place justice! Very clean and comfortable for my extended weekend stay. I loved the positive charm and affirmations throughout the space.

The Brick Manor is a restored brick house from the 1860s. You will enjoy privacy with a separate stairway to your room of twin beds and private bath which includes a soaking tub and shower. You have a small sitting area in the back portion of the upstairs to enjoy coffee or tea on your schedule. On a quiet street in charming Clermont, only 30-40 mins. from Decorah and also from Prairie du Chein and the Miss.River.

This room is upstairs in a rehabbed 1860 brick house. There is a complete bath with soaking tub and shower for your private use.

Clermont is a small town in NE Iowa on the Turkey River. There are rentals for canoeing, tubing and biking. There is also a 109 mile loop called the River Bluffs Scenic Byway which reachs the Mississippi.

This was our second stay at this lovely Clermont bed and breakfast. It was perfect for our family of four, plus our grandparents. Our entire group was able to stay in the bedrooms on the second floor, and gather in the living room and dining room for meals. Becky is a congenial host who makes us feel right at home. Our kids enjoyed summer evenings chasing gently illuminated fireflies in the front yard, and there was a town softball game across the street which could not be heard from inside the house. Enjoyable stay in this historic and comfortable home.

Tricia2016-07-24T00:00:00Z

Becky is a first rate hostess! We highly recommend her!

Russ2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

The brick city air B and B was a great place to stay over. The accommodations were very nice and Rebecca did everything to make our stay comfortable. We were there for a wedding and this was the perfect spot for us. The two breakfast that we were served were delightful. If you need to be in this part of the country for any reason this would be a good stop.

Bonnie2015-05-24T00:00:00Z

Staying at Rebecca's Brick Manor was a great first Airbnb experience for me! She was friendly and warm, and the rooms were comfortable, with everything I needed. I especially loved the breakfast, which was absolutely delicious eggbake.

Greg2016-06-19T00:00:00Z

Becky welcomed us into her home and was an amazing host! Everything was better than expected and breakfast each morning was great. Loved this quiet, comfortable place to stay for Noric Fest and exploring all the historic sites in northeast Iowa. Would definitely stay here again - great first Airbnb experience!

Abby2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

Becky was an amazing host and even made us a fantastic breakfast though we had to leave very early in the morning. The house is historically interesting and this was a fun place to stay in a very sparse area of Iowa.

Muriel2016-05-01T00:00:00Z

Our host, our room, the breakfasts, the house, and its surroundings—all made for a most comfortable three-night stay while we attended Nordic Fest 40 minutes north in Decorah. Becky, our host, promptly answered our request and follow-up questions on-line, and we found her as welcoming, accommodating, and efficient in person. Our room, with its very comfortable beds, was clean, well-equipped, and wonderfully quiet. Becky provided us with varied, nourishing, tasty, baked breakfast dishes complemented with juice, toast, fresh fruit, muffins or scones, and plenty of coffee. She has carefully modernized her mid-nineteenth century brick house to lose none of its charm. The quiet, small town beauty of Clermont and its surrounding countryside is dignified by two impressive life-sized bronze statues, including one of Abraham Lincoln holding the Emancipation Proclamation, in town and four more outside town at a former Iowa governor’s grand mansion (now managed by the Iowa Historical Society). An enjoyable stay—start to finish.

William2015-07-26T00:00:00Z

Clermont is off most people's paths but if you are driving West after spending time along the Mississippi River road as we were, we highly recommend Rebecca's place. It is a charming brick house dating from the town's heyday as the Brick City, and has been beautifully restored by Rebecca with modern comforts such as air conditioning and spotless new bathrooms. We enjoyed a delicious hot breakfast and chatting with our host before we took off the next morning. Thanks Becky!
